Memphis Elvis Tour
My four hour tour covers places associated with Elvis Presley in Memphis that most
people have trouble finding on their own.
Thus I usually don’t walk through Graceland mansion with you, for you can easily do that
on your own.
Some of the places we go to, but not all, are the
Overton Park Shell, Lauderdale Courts,
Humes High, Poplar Tunes,
Forrest Hills Cemetery, 1034 Audubon Drive,
At these places we often stop to take photos.
We also drive by many former locations of places , like WHBQ Radio, and of the First
Assembly of God (his church).
Sometimes we go to places that are out of the way, like the former Circle G Ranch in
Horn Lake, Mississippi. We drive by or stop at approximately 75 places.
Where we go depends on you. My tour is a custom tour, let me know what you want to
see. Don't want to have an exclusively Elvis tour? That's fine. On any tour I weave in all
the “threads” of Memphis: the Mississippi River, Civil War, Civil Rights, blues, soul,
rockabilly, the neighborhoods, and the culture of a city - Memphis. You tell me what
interests you.
The cost of a four hour Memphis tour is $60 per person.

Note, though I once offered tours
inside 1034 Audubon Drive: I cannot
do so today, unless the new owners
grant permission.

The Zippin Pippin roller coaster has been a part of
the Memphis community for ninety years. Elvis
would rent the entire amusement park, and this was
his favorite ride. He and his friends would do risky
stunts while riding it. But its fate appeared doomed
when the city closed down the Libertyland
amusement park in 2005. The roller coaster has
been sold twice and was supposed to be moved out
of the city. Now the owners have donated it to the
group Save Libertyland, who had done so much to
preserve the amusement park. Click The
